Aleksandra Žečević
University professor
April 2019
I am delighted to be writing this recommendation letter for my student Nikola Ekmedzić. Please permit me to introduce myself. My name is Aleksandra Zečević, PhD in economics. Nikola Ekmedzić was my student on 3 courses: Databases, Business Informatics, Programming Languages, and on all three courses he showed excellent results. Having worked closely with Nikola, I have been able to capture some of his skills and capabilities, and I am fully persuaded that he has developed the skill set to succeed in her career. He has strong initiative and often engages his good sense of reasoning and always asked insightful questions, sometimes beyond the scope of textbooks. I will not be doing justice to this letter if I fail to mention that Nikola Ekmedzić exceeds my expectation in all ways. Apart from having a strong intellectual capacity, Nikola also possesses the resilience that confirms to me that he would improve knowledge in any business information system. With confidence and the assurance that he would perform wonderfully well, I strongly recommend Nikola Ekmedzić for a job in a company dealing with information technologies.
